Typical LP length: around 10 days but never super regular
Testing: nope nope nope!
R/R: kicking myself for not dtd last night but I was tired and annoyed lol. It’s been rainy and dreary the past two days so I am tired and not very motivated haha.
@stillcozy aww, don't beat yourself up- I know the feeling though. It's beautiful and sunny here but I also feel tired and I don't even have the weather as an excuse, haha.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/1
Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1 (I think)
Typical LP length: Not sure, hoping to get a better sense this cycle!
Testing: Not for a while.
R/R: I'm annoyed at myself for not doing a better job of tracking this cycle, so I'm not totally sure when I O'd or what my timing has been. I think it was yesterday though, so that's what I'm going with.
R/R: well, half the day is over and no AF so FF was probably wrong about my O date. Also!! Had the mammogram and U/S this morning. It's just a cyst woo! There is actually a smaller one near the nipple but way in the back near the muscle wall but they mentioned that would be difficult to notice. I'm on a wait list to get a call from the general surgeon about draining it. They'll call when they start doing elective surgeries again. The cyst doesn't hurt or anything so it's not critical to get it drained, but I know feeling it there will drive me nuts.
CS/Q: temps are dropping so feeling out, the question just is when

@inthewoods23 Amazing news about the cyst! Have definitely been thinking of you & hoping it would all be well. FX you’re not out!
Month/Cycle: 23/??
CD/DPO: 17/5
Timing: -4, -3, -1, +1
Typical LP length: 10-13
Testing: Maybe starting this weekend because I’m a masochist & enjoy imagining lines that aren’t there😫
R/R: Rave: Gorgeous weather today. About to go take a walk to get my blood flowing. Rant: Starting to feel the stress of lockdown. We will be home through end of May, at least. Also, taking progesterone & estradiol after O makes me feel PG, which is such a mind game.
@stillcozy don't kick yourself about not HIO last night. You had GREAT timing and after all of that I wouldn't be able to do it either! @the_most_happy are you using OPK's? I find they are the laziest way to track O for me. They aren't guaranteed so if you can add CM tracking that's better but sometimes I just cant find the motivation for much more. @inthewoods23 I'm glad you are still here but hopefully you will be off to the Jan21 BMB soon! Good news about the cyst too!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, & 1
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Waiting until Friday
R/R: Rant - it has been rainy and cold here the last couple days, it's really making me miss the almost 70 and sunny weekend. That will hopefully be back tomorrow. Rave - I made rice crispy treats yesterday and I have been devouring them. They are so good!
CS/Q: Nothing exciting

@the_most_happy thanks! the ultrasound tech had mentioned they would start seeing people next week for non-essential stuff so maybe it'll be the same with the general surgeon? 🤷♀️ I'll find out hopefully soon!
@keikilove thanks! I wish we had nice weather here but there has been rain basically every day this week. I think we finally get a break on Saturday
@krash_ I spoke about 2.5 hours too soon haha. AF is here. She used to always show up around 10am in the mornings which was great because I could put a pantiliner on in the morning before work and then change into heavier protection once she finally showed during the work day. Now she shows up whenever like she owns my life. My mom made rice krispie treats this weekend and YUM.
